Musician Dr. John spills anger at Obama on BBC Radio

I just heard an interview on BBC radio (between 2:30 and 3:05am ET) with musician Dr. John in Louisiana. He is mentioned in the attached BBC story, however he said something on radio which is not in the lengthy BBC report at this time (3:10am). I happened on the interview in progress and heard approximately the following from Dr. John:
  • In this country (US) I consider our 2 political parties the Crips and the Bloods, neither one is worth much. I voted for the current president, but I am disappointed in him. He is not here, dealing with this 'crime scene'.
The BBC mentions nothing about Obama, in its otherwise detailed report about Dr. John and the oil spill. Nor does it say Dr. John says democrats are as bad as republicans ('crips and bloods'). Perhaps they will have an update at some point, but this is the story they have now. Their entire report is about local anger at BP. They title the report, "Dr. John spills his anger towards BP." Dr. John's comments on BBC radio were as interesting as the fact that BBC has so far not put them in print.
